A while back at my local Cabelas I found a 60's vintage Mossberg 3-round, internal magazine, bolt action .410 shotgun. It is the most bizarre firearm I have ever seen in person and I absolutely had to have it.
@@deadeyedsam850 well, if it is not regulated by the NFA or GCA, there is no reason not to be able to cross a state line, if the state you cross or travel to doesn't have any specific state law prohibiting this (Commifornia?)
I figured this would be an ideal camp gun, so I got one. Now all I need is a sleeping bag, a tent, a stove, a cook set, rain gear, boots, gloves, water bottle, hat, bug repellent, sun block, knife, flashlight, extra socks, food, and I'm all set.
I was hoping for a Terminator 2 spin flip lol but hey I know if I tried that I'd end up dropping my 87 clone too lmao I cant wait to see what you do with it. Maybe thread the barrel for some surpressed slugs?
I have a Henry .22 Mare's Leg and I can do the Terminator 2 spin reload with that (I only do it with an empty tube because there is a critical point in the spin where a loaded gun is pointed at your face/chest)
Seems like a good option for home defense if you have recoil sensitive people in the home. I have a shockwave 12 gauge and it's nice and compact but it kicks like a mule. The only problem... The price. I saw one of these last year on the shelf for $760. That's pretty steep for what it is. You could find a youth model 410 pump for way less and accomplish the same thing. But, as a former 1887 mares leg owner, this configuration is fun to shoot. Guns don't always need to fill a role.
I’m a Marlin guy, but want this thing now. Plan to do a SBS as well. Have you completed yours yet? Does the axe share the same stock as other Henry rifles?
I'm very much looking forward to your videos on E-Filing a Form 1 as an individual. Also there's nothing wrong with a 40 minute video. I rather like the longer ones. (Giggity)
"If it ain't broke don't fix it!" That being said, I love that you showed dropping it trying to cowboy or Terminator it. LOL! I liked this video, but I am subscribed now because of that honesty! Been there! LOL! Henry Rifles are great! I have now afforded myself two, this is one! I love it!
hey dude! i see you're still responding to new comments, so i was wondering; have you had any issues with this gun since the making of this video? i've been looking into them because i REALLY want a lever action shotgun, and these are the only good ones in this configuration that i can find that are still being made. however, when i was handling one in the gun store... it jammed up on me. the lifter got frozen and locked up the action. it looked like it somehow got sprung higher than it was supposed to, and part of the front end of it got hung up on the rim of the ejection port and partially blocked the bore. my old pal that works there said it went out of time because it wasn't used to being worked so much without shells in it. i have seen zero complaints about this gun everywhere i've looked, so if you've had a bad (or good) experience with it over the past 4 years, i'd love to know!
You figure out any way to hold the Axe on-target whilst cycling the action before you changed out the furniture? This is basically the only lever action "firearm" that I've seen asides the Winchester 1887 and every video I've seen everyone pulls it down and back to cycle the lever. While this is great for the range, I'm wondering if there's a way to make this fun gun a little more serious. Without that contact point on my shoulder, cycling it always pulls the muzzle upward. Maybe I just need a vertical grip ;) -- Thanks!!
You appreciate that by supplying it with only a full choke, Henry have restricted your ammunition choices? Bird shot is great for vermin control, but I definitely want something stouter against anything bigger.
can you and is it legal to shoot .45 long colt or whatever it was that interchanges on bunch of other fire arms with .410 shotgun shells, and would it make any sense?
It can shoot .45 Colt, it's legal to do so. It has no rifling in the barrel however so it will not stabilize. Not every .45 Colt gun will interchange with .410 and not every .410 will interchange with a .45 Colt either. The reason the Henry .410's will shoot the .45 Colt is they are built off the barrels and receivers of their .45-70 Big Boy rifles, which is why they will only handle a 2 1/2 inch .410 and not a full 3 inch as it's too long. The bore diameter is still the same as the .45-70 so being for a .45 caliber load the .410 will fire just fine. So in short... no wouldn't make any sense unless it's all you had and you were extremely close up.
@@sidneezingara1976 it’s the usefulness of the gun that has me lowering the price in my mental balance sheet. I drop 2k on a rifle once or twice a year
@@anonymousbosch9265 this would be my first. But so much to choose from, I can’t decide. The lever action is so appealing. Ammo availability seems scarce, though (.410, that is)
@@sidneezingara1976 the problem with a weapon like this is what to use it for after the new gun buzz wears off. You can’t hunt with it and it’s likely to not be allowed in most indoor shooting ranges and there’s a lot better choices for home/self defense so it’s simply a “fun gun” which is great but that where the cost benefit starts creeping in. That being said, I’d absolutely buy one for $500 or less
I’m not really sure why you showed the footage of you dropping the weapon while doing something dangerous. Good review but unprofessional weapon handling which undermines the content.
They will actually shoot .45 Colt. But there's no rifling, so it wont stabilize. The Henry's in .410 are based on their .45-70 lever actions, which is why they're a 2 1/2 inch .410 chamber only, but the bore size is still the same as the .45-70, so you can still fit and fire a .45 Colt.
@@Predalien195 The bore size is not the same as a .45-70 or .45 Colt. .410 shotguns have a .410" bore. It's not a good idea to force .45" bullets down .41" barrels.
@@ApurtureSci The Henry uses a .454 diameter on their .410 shotguns. So yes, it can shoot a .45 Colt no problem just it lacks rifling. Under normal circumstances I'd never advocate something but it has been tested and measured.
@@Predalien195 Have you measured that yourself? Having an oversize bore like that would be very strange. I've had my hands on the older Henry 410 (no loading gate) and it had a regular .41" bore.
@@ApurtureSci Yes, I've measured it. Plenty of other people have done this as well. Like I've said, I wouldn't do it anyways because there's no real point in doing so.
Form 1s wait time has gone from roughly 30 days to 50+ over the last few months. I've done a bunch this year and the two I am waiting on right now are at 51 days. The longest wait prior was 38 days and typically 30 right on the dot.
@@marzcapone9939 Yeah it's super easy to use the eforms website. The first time is a little tricky but after that you have it all memorized. Lots of helpful links on google just search form 1 e filing help or something like that.
Have been eyeing this for a while and trying to figure an excuse for why I need a weird but if it were decked out a little different that may be my reason looking forward to the transformation
Spin cocking is pretty easy on my Marlin 1895 Dark. I haven’t tried it the way you did though. I’d jump all over one of these Henry Axes if they weren’t so damn expensive. I mean I get it, it’s no 870 but still, hard to justify for a .410 even though it is cool...knock $150 off that MSRP and I’d consider it. Also I love the “if it’s cold in the garden” haha I got a good chuckle out of that.
We keep trying to stem that tide here. I'm hoping that with all the first time buyers as a result of the civil unrest, some of the anti-gun sentiment quiets down (at least for a while).
I know I'm talking a television gun, but it appears to look like a mare's leg ... used by Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive ... though not a shotgun, it used a pretty massive rifle round, lever action with a similar hand / butt stock. The firearm did / does exist ... though was never mass produced, that I know of. Steve McQueen did own one, and there were others produced.
Henry makes "Mare's Legs" in .357, .44, .45 Colt and I believe .41 Magnum. Rossi had the Ranch Hand which was in .357 and .45 Colt. The Axe of course is taking the same concept but applying it to a shotgun.
Paul Harrel has a video on the .410 shotgun effectiveness with all the various loads. Seems like it would be something the weak shooters in the Law Enforcement field could just hand from the belt. The #3 Buck is as deadly as any load in any shotgun. You can see that in Paul's video. Since the average LE Cop has only a 25% hit rate in real life this could let them miss less.
Classification as a "firearm" is superfluous for a .410 as you can already get handguns in the caliber. "Firearm" is only useful for 28 gauge and up. I wanna see an 8 gauge one.
I normally never say this about firearms but...what's the point? A S&W Governor does all this but better, except less velocity. It shoots .410, 45LC and .45 ACP with moon clips, has 6 shots, is lighter "scandium" and has a night site front site. You can actually carry it to the garden in a holster and there is no need to Form 1 it. Plus, I guarantee you can shoot 6 through a Governor faster than the Henry firearm. I understand the regular shotgun version but this one, seems impractical.
Guns like the Axe are mostly there for fun but also to show how pointless the laws on these matters are. I hate to say it, but no, the Governor does NOT do all that but better. Using handgun specific loads in the Governor or Taurus Judge while patterns and performance are good, the longer barrel with a choke on the Henry will be tighter up close and farther away. The Henry CAN shoot .45 Colt, but it has no rifling so it won't stabilize. That said, .410 slugs exist and do just fine for any solid projectile needs. The Governor is quite versatile and overall is not as bad of a gun as many would say given their reputation, but it doesn't make it the clear victor in this particular case. As somebody who owns and shoots a lot of .410 and has the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum and have owned the regular Judge and shot the Governor on several instances and even have a Circuit Judge Carbine what I can say is as a general purpose tool... Yes, I'd rather the Governor for a variety of different reasons. But if it was say strictly home defense, or a trail gun, I'd rather the Henry. In very specific and defined roles that's where many guns outshine the Governor or Judge. It's when you're trying to cover as many as possible where they become more appealing.
You were trying to shoulder the weapon and it is a hit fire weapon. I’ve seen so many people do reviews on this and try to shoulder this thing. It is not a shoulder weapon clearly.
Anybody else care to share their weird guns? Weirdest gun I own is the Ideal conceal 380. Weird not because it's a cellphone gun but because it's 500 bucks and has a lot of play in the lockup, extractor, folding mechanism, etc. and all while being priced at a premium.
You stole my idea! I've been dying to get this gun, but Maryland tends to classify these as "handguns" (like they've done with the Shockwave) and therefore it needs to be on the Handgun Registry. The board has met twice since it's release and no one has submitted it for review!
@@hayjacob666 Maryland gun laws don't make any sense, I can only own AR15s with HBARs. Ownership of "high capacity mags" is legal, but sale, purchase, and manufacture of then in the state is illegal.
Not to sound like an internet expert, but you should seriously stop flipping that thing around before you blow a hole in your body. When you dropped it, my buthole puckered.
The important thing is you never try to catch a dropped gun. Let it go to the ground and recover it calmly. Modern shotguns are drop safe and the Axe is no different.

I want one just for the hell of it. Just like I want one of their lever action .410bore ones.
Same as the shockwave
You were trying to shoulder the weapon and it is a hit fire weapon. I’ve seen so many people do reviews on this and try to shoulder this thing. It is not a shoulder weapon clearly.

Poor gun handling!
Good for home defense with number 3 shot as it won't go through walls.
Anybody else care to share their weird guns? Weirdest gun I own is the Ideal conceal 380. Weird not because it's a cellphone gun but because it's 500 bucks and has a lot of play in the lockup, extractor, folding mechanism, etc. and all while being priced at a premium.
US revolver co 38sw break top I found in a barn lol half nickle plated half rust cylinder spins free on them which is odd
You stole my idea! I've been dying to get this gun, but Maryland tends to classify these as "handguns" (like they've done with the Shockwave) and therefore it needs to be on the Handgun Registry. The board has met twice since it's release and no one has submitted it for review!
That doesn’t make any sense. Did they literally classify an “other” for a “handgun”?
@@hayjacob666 Maryland gun laws don't make any sense, I can only own AR15s with HBARs. Ownership of "high capacity mags" is legal, but sale, purchase, and manufacture of then in the state is illegal.
Not to sound like an internet expert, but you should seriously stop flipping that thing around before you blow a hole in your body. When you dropped it, my buthole puckered.
The important thing is you never try to catch a dropped gun. Let it go to the ground and recover it calmly. Modern shotguns are drop safe and the Axe is no different.
I gotta have one of these haha
It's a blast to shoot, no pun intended, lol
Too bad it's not 3 inch chambered
